Aaron Taylor-Johnson has spent a life on the stage – and in the spotlight. This Hollywood heartthrob (and Buckinghamshire native) began acting at the age of six, appearing in London productions of ‘MacBeth’ and Arthur Miller’s ‘All my Sons.’ He was destined for the big screen, and he landed his first prominent on-screen role as a young Charlie Chaplin in the 2003 film, ‘Shanghai Knights.’ Action would be in the cards for Aaron, as he would land the title character in 2010’s ‘Kick-Ass’ (and its sequel, ‘Kick-Ass 2,’ in 2013.) The take on the unconventional superhero story seemingly resulted in him being cast as Quicksilver in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He made his first appearance as the character in ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier,’ and then again in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron.’ Aaron has also appeared in 2014’s ‘Godzilla,’ 2016’s ‘Nocturnal Animals,’ and 2020’s ‘Tenet.’

In 2008, Aaron worked on the John Lennon biopic, ‘Nowhere Boy.’ There, he met director Sam Taylor-Wood. Despite him being 18 and she 42, the two fell in love. In 2009, they became engaged and were wed in 2012. They welcomed two daughters together – Wylda in 2010, and Romy in 2012.
